Today Doug opens the container with retailers Nick & Chikki Shajwani.

Doug begins this episode by recounting the life of his family who immigrated to the United States from Germany and discovered the outdoors while building a remarkable life in their new home country.

Doug is then joined by brothers Nick and Chikki Shajwani, immigrant entrepreneurs who have founded and developed Molly's Place, a prominent establishment for hunting and outdoor gear on the Eastern Shore of Maryland.

During their conversation they talk about their experiences turning a hardware store to a specialized outdoor retailer, emphasizing their commitment to community engagement and embracing local outdoor culture. The Shajwani brothers reflect on the significance of their heritage, underscoring how it informs their business philosophy and fosters resilience in the face of challenges. They also share insights into their customer base, which is made up of hardworking individuals who embody a profound and often culturally infused appreciation for the outdoors.
